I've been trying to improve my drawing skills, as lots of people say this is a good foundation for any animation. Did some sketches in the garden yesterday, and then today I decided to just copy an animation straight from Disney.
Here's a puppy run cycle, originally by Frank Thomas, which I've done my best to copy. I slowed it down a bit to show it more clearly. I think the spacing (or drawing?!) is a bit off in the middle, but in general I'm quite pleased with it. My favourite part is the ears!

Happy Birthday!
I've done another 2D animation to wish 2 very good friends of mine Happy Birthday. Hope you both enjoy your birthdays, and that you're not yet too old for silly animations of guitar-playing guineas!

Vimeo test
Just testing out whether my videos would work better from Vimeo. Here's the little girl skipping again, only BIGGER!!! (I hope).
Vimeo seems to have made the weight fall twice, so it slightly ruins it, but interesting to see how it looks on my blog page.

2D scribbles - skippety, skip
I downloaded some cool open source 2D animation software: http://www.pencil-animation.org/
and have been playing around with it. The idea is that I'll be able to do storyboards, animatics, and general planning and timing with it, to help with the 3D stuff. I think I've barely touched on the possibilities, but just stuck to what I could work out.
However, I wouldn't rule out random silly animations like this one.

Waking lamp
I wanted to do something slightly more creative with the lamp, rather than just following the tutorial, so I added a short sequence to the beginning of the jumping lamp to try to add a bit of character.
